What Jumping on a Grenade for Your Fellow SEAL Says About Our Troops: Mike Sarraille | Navy SEAL DEVGRU | Marine Recon

This is the Podumentary with former guest Mike Sarraille, former Marine Recon and a SEAL Team leader who served 20 years in the special operations community, earning a Silver Star, multiple Bronze Stars with Valor, and more. He finished his career in the Teams with Naval Special Warfare Development Group (or DEVGRU).

Mike served in multiple leadership roles to include the Battles of Ramadi and Sadr City, to name just a few. Since retiring from service, Mike founded and is the CEO of Talent War Group, a specialized executive search firm and talent advisory; he’s co-author of ‘The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent’ and is the face of Men’s Journal’s ‘The Everyday Warrior.’

Mike and his team on Triple 7 broke several world records that included free fall jumps across the world while helping veterans.

Mike shares the story of losing his fellow SEAL Michael Mansoor - posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor - when he jumped on a grenade on a rooftop to save Mike’s life. Mike, his service, and his work today are an inspiration to so many and I’m proud to have spent some time with him. This is his story.
